Andrew was reappointed parliamentary under secretary of state at the DCMS late last month; he takes on the tourism brief from Lord Syed Kamall, who served a short stint as Britain’s tourism lead under Liz Truss after succeeding Nigel Huddleston.
Yates, chief executive of VisitBritain and VisitEngland, tweeted: "Delighted that the new tourism minister is @StuartAndrew – looking forward to working with him to drive economic growth right across Britain."
VisitBritain also tweeted its own welcome. "Congratulations to Rt Hon @StuartAndrew MP who has been appointed as tourism minister @DCMS. We look forward to working with you soon!"
